KiB MiB are not SI prefixes but IEC ones

[Olivier Crumeyrolle]

I can read on the page  http://cygwin.com/xfree/
"We are now using the SI prefixes  for binary files sizes, according to"

<http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html>

But according to this NIST  web page,
"It is important to recognize that the new prefixes for binary multiples
are not part of the
International System of Units (SI), the modern metric system. "


Yours,


O Crumeyrolle.
